Salts can be easily identified, since they usually consist of positive ions from a metal with negative ions from a non metal. The salt we put on our fries is actually sodium chloride and is made up of metal Na1+ and non metal Cl1- ions. Often you will see this written as Na+ and Cl- (the 1 is dropped) or simply NaCl.
Where does Salt come from? Salt is one of the few useful and abundant minerals on earth. Salt is all around us. Underground and on the earthâs surface in the dried up residues of ancient seas. Some salt has even arrived from outer space in meteors. But our biggest source of salt is in our seas and oceans.
